Iran says ceasefire terms meet minimum standards for lasting peace
The article centers an Iranian government official's statement with minimal editorial contextualization or counterpoint. Language choices ('brute force,' 'letter of surrender,' 'illegal sanctions') amplify Iran's framing without attribution to disputed claims or alternative interpretations. No U.S., Israeli, or other stakeholder perspective is included to provide balance; the sole sourcing is the Iranian deputy foreign minister via social media.

Iranian deputy foreign minister Kazem Gharibabadi has defended Tehran’s proposal to end the war, describing it as a baseline for any credible and durable agreement.
Writing on X, Gharibabadi said the plan reflects “the minimum requirements of any serious, sustainable arrangement aligned with the UN Charter”.
He condemned Washington’s rejection of the proposal, arguing it exposes a broader agenda.
“When the party that has directly played a role in the war, siege, sanctions, and threats through brute force rejects Iran’s response solely because it is not a letter of surrender, it becomes clear that the main issue is not peace, but the imposition of political will through the path of threats and pressure,” he wrote.
Gharibabadi said Iran’s conditions include a permanent end to hostilities, compensation for damages and the removal of what he described as “illegal sanctions”.
“One cannot speak of a ceasefire while continuing the siege; talk of diplomacy while intensifying sanctions; or discuss regional stability while providing political and military support to a regime that is the source of aggression and instability,” he said.
